Default LSX powered 80' Carmaro Rear Suspension???

Doing a budget LSX build on an 80 Camaro, car has cage, everything else suspension wise, is stock.
Running a turbocharged 5.3 vortec w/ a built TH400 w/ transbrake, ball park of 600-650 hp.
I've been reading on here about rear ends, and I already know I need to step up to a 12 bolt or 9".

QUESTION : as far as getting the power to the ground I need help. Can I run leaf springs, with a few extra leafs + ladder/traction bars, or is it a waste of time and money and should I switch to coils and????


All input is welcome,
Thanks for the help!

Consider CalTracs maybe? Worked quite well on a couple of leaf spring vehicles in the past for me.
